Didn't we have a lovely time The Day we went to Banger .....

A Bunwell Banger Fan

Saturday September 7th and the day of the famed 'Battle of The Bangers' which takes place each year outside The Forum in Norwich.

'Battle' commenced at 10 am and as well as The Paddocks Butchery from Mulbarton there were eight other butchers taking part. These included The Norfolk Sausage Company; Tony Perkins Butchers;  Archers Butchers; F L Edge & Son Butchers; Thorpe Butchers; Walsingham Farm Shop; Brambles Farm and Blofield Farm Shop.

The next few hours were frenetic as butchers cooked and over 4000 people tasted and then voted for their favourite sausage - Team Bunwell banger cooked and chopped over 900 sausages in five hours!

As well as the public vote there was a panel of judges judging a blind taste these included Anthony Isaacs of BBC Radio Norfolk, Nick Harris, Executive Chef at Jarrolds plus The Fry-Up Inspector and The Sausage King.

At 4 pm poor Bunwell fell on his sword as the winner of both votes was declared as Archers of Norwich.

We got feedback from one of the judges (The Fry Up Inspector) who awarded The Bunwell Banger 9.5/10.
His full report can be found on his blog.
